What do you mean in step 10 of your guide for setting up your own website? about jmcglone.github.io HOT 5 CLOSED

In step 3 you create the first iteration of the index.html file that does not use Jekyll's template system. In step 9, you create the _layouts/default.html template file, which includes elements that repeat on all your website's pages (such as the head, site navigation, and footer). For each page that calls the default template in the front matter, the {{ content }} liquid tag in _layouts/default.html will read/write any content after the front matter.

So in step 10, the idea is to update index.html by replacing the entire contents of the file to use your default template. You don't need the head, navigation, or footer that was previously in there, because that markup is now included in the default template. So replace the entirety of index.html with this code:

---
layout: default
title: Hank Quinlan, Horrible Cop
---
<div class="blurb">
    <h1>Hi there, I'm Hank Quinlan!</h1>
    <p>I'm best known as the horrible cop from <em>A Touch of Evil</em> Don't trust me. <a href="/about">Read more about my life...</a></p>
</div><!-- /.blurb -->

Hope this helps and thanks for your question!

Actually I'll just try and fix it myself. Sorry for the troubles.
